DV changed....OH MY GOD!!!!
« on: April 01, 2013, 08:12:47 pm »
Finally got around to changing this on Sat and replaced it with a Rev G, as you can see by the pics it was absolutely knackered and I'm actually wondering now if the car has even been on full boost since I got it because Christ on a bike what a difference.....I was supposed to be getting rid later in the year but I am going to struggle now, I've just fallen in love with it all over again.  :grin: :grin: :grin:





Laser Blue 3dr No 209683, Leather, Monza II's and a few other goodies...........GONE but not forgotten......now in an A4 S-Line Avant 170tdi......god I miss the Gti.

That's in shocking condition! Bet it feels like you've just had it mapped.

I'm having mine changed at the weekend to revision G and also a new turbo as mine has a crack in it. I'm hoping this will improve performance massively!

I want to know if mine is 'cracked'. I have no fault codes, does this mean that my DV is still good, or can this also happen without causing faultcodes?

I was thinking that, how do you know when the DV is ***** or is it just advised to do it? What was your motor running like before replacement?

For a £35 part its worth changing as a precautionary measure, yours is probably going to be the original one (unless you've already changed it) so its well worth it IMHO.

Look at the rubber diaphragm.... if its torn you need a new one.

Boost requested, Boost Actual is a good indication no doubt.

Is there a vague idea of what mileage these are expected to fail at?  Mine's only at 60k and seems to pull lovely and strong (though I've just gone from a PD130 to a 2.0 TFSI)

What about if you have a rev D. Do they still split, aren't they plastic and not rubber?

Might still change it if it's recommended, especially as it's so accessible on an ed30
